Flashback Malware Removal Tool

This keeps showing up in my software updates. Is this something I should allow to be installed, or is it malware?

Anti-malware built into the operating system since OS X.6.8. How are you getting this message ~ running any AV software by chance? Also not confusing with Flash Player?

It shows up when I do a software update search. In the details, there is a link that takes me to the Apple Support. Not running A/V.

Screenshot?
Flash updates are from the system pref. Never took me to App store before.

Time to look like a noob...how do I take a screen shot?

nope…how do I get this in a reply?

maybe now…



Too small…I'll work on it tomorrow..

Click on the red 'Go Advance' button next to 'Post Quick Reply'.
Scroll down to where it says 'Manage attachments', click on that.
A window will pop up with a 'Browse' button. Click that and find the screenshot.
Click 'Upload'. Close the window after it uploads.
Type something in the reply box and post.

Note: if you can, make the screenshot smaller than actual size or edit it to just show the dialog box. Maybe using Preview? I think there is a limit to uploaded file sizes.

It's a malware removal tool from Apple - yes, I'd go ahead and install it - it's been sitting there for you to install for over a year and a half.

Agree with Bobtomay. That is not malware, it's a removal tool for the Flash Malware.

....and that's why I come here...thanks!
